Invented by a veterinarian, this is the hind-leg harness that prevents a dog from pulling or jumping. When the pet attempts to tug or jump, the harness tightens around the hind legs, creating a sensation that conditions the pet to refrain from this behavior. Unlike typical harnesses that do little to restrict tugging, this advanced model restricts the muscle groups in the hind legs that generate up to 70% of a dog's pulling power. The harness's rear positioning eliminates the typical discomfort dogs experience with harnesses that tug repeatedly on the neck and head. Made from soft yet durable nylon and neoprene, the hind leg harness is gentle on a dog's coat yet provides optimal strength for controlling the canine. Sizes S (up to 15 lbs.) or M (16-50 lbs.) (8 oz.)

Product works wonders with our pit mix with one big con. The friction of the harness rubbing on his hind legs causes a rash. He does have very short hair and sensitive skin though. For a dog with a long coat and normal skin this should not be an issue.

I have a Border Collie with lots of hair, but in only three uses it rubber her raw on her hind legs. I've purchased a fabric wrap and will try using that with the harness to see if it doesn't rub her so badly.

ABSOLUTELY USELESS, MY DOG DIDN'T WANT TO WALK AND I HAD TO DRAG HIM GOING HOME. AFWUL, UNCOMFORTABLE AROUND HIS LEGS

Once we figured out how to install the harness on our 70+ pound Lab youngster, my husband started to take her for her usual 3 mile walk. They did not get 1/2 block before she sat down and would not budge, so he removed the harness and came back home.We are so disappointed as she is a "tugger" and we were looking forward to a remedy. Any sugestions?

Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. Some dogs will act like this because they don't know what it is. We do suggest being persistent even at home with the leash off. Then when you go for walks give them tugs on the leash in the direction you want them to go and they should follow. Should you have any further questions, please call our 24-hour customer service hotline at 1-800-321-1484 and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you.

I have a 70 pound, part pit, part mastif, part lab mix. She's extremely strong. I have tried everything to make walking a pleasurable event for both of us, but until now have failed. This product actually works. She still gets to have her exercise, and I don't have the stress of having to reign her in all the time.

We are returning this item. It seems like a great idea/design but the back part doesn't stay on our dog's legs.
